The former governor of Akwa Ibom state and Senate minority leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has returned to the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for more question after Friday’s alleged arrest and eventual release.
According to Channels Television, a source close to the EFCC says that Senator Akpabio returned to the EFCC at about 10am on Saturday, October 17.
The former governor was accompanied by his counsel and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Rikey Tarfa and some aides.
Premium Times reports that as soon as the former governor arrived at the commission, he was moved into the interrogation room, a source said.
It was reported that the counsel and aides to the former governor watched helplessly as the anti-graft operatives led him away.
Sources disclosed that there indications that the senator might be spending the day with the anti-graft commission.
The Senate minority leader was said to have been arrested on Friday, October 16, by the EFCC over an alleged theft of N108.1 billion of Akwa Ibom funds when the senator was governor.
But Senator Akpabio had denied reports stressing that he was not arrested by the anti-crime commission.
